⭐⭐⭐⭐Reviews Hub

'For a play about a very sombre and serious subject, Davis’s script contains many funny lines...Agathe is a tense and effective reminder of how order can slide into chaos and why we should stand against inhumanity, even as it overwhelms us.'

⭐⭐⭐⭐Morning Star

'Natasha Bain gives an outstanding performance as the former education minister who turns to UN peacekeepers when she learns that her name is on a kill list...a captivating insight into a forgotten leader.'

⭐⭐⭐⭐My Borderline Life

‘The use of lighting was on point, even made me jump…informative…a good starting point to learn about Rwanda and what happened…emotive and underrated acting for what they were portraying.’

⭐⭐⭐Salterton Arts Reviews

'There can be few things more inspirational and more harrowing on the London stage right now...The story of Agathe Uwilingiyimana is important, and deserves to be shared and known....Bain turns in a solid central performance as the titular character...And the final character, Mbaye Diagne (Rio Attoh-Wood), was for me a standout...An inspirational figure deserving of his own theatrical legacy, and Attoh-Woods captures the charisma and understanding of human nature'. 

​

The Spectator

'A play about Rwanda that has lessons for us today...The play’s most disturbing figure is a radio shock-jock who prepares his listeners for genocide with poetic propaganda...These fascinating lyrics demonstrate how mass murder can be fomented.'

​

British Theatre Guide

'This clear, accessible story is performed by an impressive cast of five actors that never fails to hold the audience's attention...Agathe and Mbaye stand as important examples of how... people can oppose genocide and save people's lives.'

Lovers of Black Theatre

‘AGATHE is a gripping look into the last days of Agathe Uwilingiyimana…History plays about African leaders are very few and far between and it’s so important that a pioneer for women’s and children’s education like Agathe can get her story told.’
